The views are gorgeous, and the night scenery is beautiful too. The grounds aren't huge, but the staff are super friendly.

SATUDORA Tanukikoji 5-chome Store
SATUDORA Tanukikoji 5-chome Store is located on Tanukikoji 5-chome, part of Sapporo's famous covered shopping arcade in the heart of the city. Surrounded by hotels and popular restaurants serving Hokkaido specialties such as ramen and soup curry, it's a convenient stop for international travelers. The lively Susukino district is also just around the corner, making it easy to drop by before or after a meal.
I really like the location. It's easy to get to, has a great selection, and offers plenty of duty-free deals and limited-edition items. It's a fantastic place to shop.

Odakyu Limited Express Romancecar
The Odakyu Limited Express Romancecar, operated by Odakyu Electric Railway, is an all-seat limited express train with a history of more than 80 years, having its roots in the "Weekend Onsen Express" that operated non-stop between Shinjuku and Odawara in the 1930s.
The observation seats have a great view, but you need to book early.
It’s a bit more expensive than a regular train, but totally worth it!

Tower of Osaka Castle
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who unified the country during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568-1600), began construction of the tower of Osaka Castle in 1583 and completed it in 1585. The castle was later destroyed during the Osaka Natsu no Jin（summer campaign of Osaka） in 1615, but was rebuilt by the Tokugawa Shogunate in 1626. However, the castle keep was destroyed by lightning in 1665. In 1931, the castle tower of the Toyotomi period was reconstructed with donations from Osaka citizens.
The museum inside is actually pretty interesting. You can learn a lot about the castle's history and stories.
